Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is only possible in certain network envi-
ronments. The setup wizard therefore analyses the connected LAN to deter-
mine whether it supports fully automatic configuration.
New LAN—fully automatic configuration possible
If all connected network devices are still unconfigured, the setup wizard will
suggest fully automatic TCP/IP configuration. This may be the case in the fol-
lowing situations:
࡯ a single PC is connected to the router
࡯
setup of a new network
Fully automatic TCP/IP configuration will not be available when integrating
the LANCOM Router in an existing TCP/IP LAN. In this case, continue with the
section ’Information required for manual TCP/IP configuration’.
The result of the fully automatic TCP/IP configuration: the router will be
assigned the IP address '172.23.56.1' (netmask '255.255.255.0'). In addition,
the integrated DHCP server will be enabled so that the LANCOM Router can
automatically assign IP addresses to the devices in the LAN.
Configure manually nevertheless?
The fully automatic TCP/IP configuration is optional. You may also select man-
ual configuration instead. Make your selection after the following considera-
tions:
࡯
Choose automatic configuration if you are not familiar with networks and
IP addresses.
࡯ Select manual TCP/IP configuration if you are familiar with networks and
IP addresses, and one of the following conditions is applicable:
˿
You have not yet used IP addresses in your network but would like to
do so now. You would like to specify the IP address for your router,
selecting it from the address range reserved for private use, e.g.
'10.0.0.1' with the netmask '255.255.255.0'. At the same time you
will set the address range that the DHCP server uses for the other
devices in the network (provided that the DHCP server is switched on).
˿
You have previously used IP addresses for the computers in your LAN.
Information required for manual TCP/IP configuration
During manual TCP/IP configuration, the setup wizard will prompt you for the
following information:
